Quantitative Analysis of Methylation of Genomic Loci in Early-Stage Rectal Cancer Predicts Distant Recurrence
8 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There are no accurate prognostic biomarkers specific for rectal cancer. Epigenetic aberrations, in the form of DNA methylation, accumulate early during rectal tumor formation. In a preliminary study, we investigated absolute quantitative methylation changes associated with tumor progression of rectal tissue at multiple genomic methylated-in-tumor (MINT) loci sequences. We then explored in a different...
